{Whew}

It turns out that having TWO kids has taken some getting used to it. I'd say we have improved, but we're not experts for sure. I also know that Heavenly Father is far wiser than we are. I could NOT handle multiples!!

A common scene at our house. Someone laying with Alyvia-and Jonas getting all up in our faces. He likes to be right where we are.

Jonas and Alyvia got a new ride. I have been coveting this stroller since I found out we were having another baby. We got a killer deal on a brand new one (thank you Craigslist!). Jonas seems to love it. I can't wait for Alyvia to be able to ride a bit more comfortably. She rides behind Jonas with the bassinet part laid flat. I'm sure she is comfy...but it makes me a bit nervous. Anyway--we hope to get a lot of miles out this stroller!!

Jonas is still his happy little self. He hasn't been upset by Alyvia being part of our family. He is patient when he needs to be (mostly), and he doesn't bother her either.

HOWEVER

He has been causing quite a bit of trouble. This lotion bottle was on the table today..and he got the lid off. Needless to say, we smelled baby clean all day at our house.

This picture is from Sunday. This incident was not as easily cleaned up. I left my make-up bag in the bathroom sink in my room. It was zipped up. Jonas was watching a "shhhhhow" as he calls it while I was in Alyvia's room pumping. (This feeling like a dairy cow is not my favorite) Jonas was a little quiet, so I called his name. He answered, so I figured he was ok. WRONG. He got my make-up bag, unzipped it and opened my foundation. Needless to say his clothes, my carpet, and my bed were now a shade of ivory. I laughed though because he had three or four streaks on his face. He knew what he was doing! I did manage to get it out of his clothes. The carpet is a different story. Glad we are renting!

Alyvia turned one month on Sunday. I can't believe it has been a month...but I also feel like I have been waking up in the night for like 6 months now. I think we are getting the hang of things, and bless this cute little one for only getting up every 4-4 1/2 hours. She knows Mama needs her sleep!

She is getting bigger, and to me she has changed so much from her first days in the NICU.

She looks so much like Jonas, and Devin. I swear she mine. Someone made a comment about her being the mailman's child-but our mailman has REALLY dark skin :) Guess she got something from me.

I attempted to take some pictures of the kids together for Valentine cards. It was....not good. Jonas looks like he is in pain in this picture. He's not. He's saying Cheese.

This was my favorite. He really is soft with her. I told him to be careful with her head. This is what I got. (sigh) Someday I will have adorable pictures of them together but for now, I am just working on keeping Lyv alive :)
